The cost of the PHY and the Ethernet interface would increase the price
Is the 2D X11 acceleration done via glamor using the closed source driver?

(Congrats btw!)

My team is actually in the process of de-Reacting our code base. These frameworks are full of hacks underneath the covers, and their abstractions are mostly ill-specified.

Check the ToS of their APIs. I'm somewhat certain you aren't allowed to build alternative interfaces into their content.

IANAL but I think this might be a violation of YouTube ToS
You never should but people do, and that's when there's a problem.
If you assume longs or pointers are 32 bits then it's a problem.
We get it. Theranos is finally suffering through fate it deserved in the first place. Justice is happening. Serious question, is this news or tabloid at this point?
Did you get it replaced? Seems like it should have still been under warranty after only a few months.
You don't have to use your phone. In theory you may also use a Yubikey
Can't wait to use my OpenPGP card to authenticate with websites.

Thanks for the correction. I think my core point still holds without the intrinsics but I was mistaken on that point.

This thread is about Intel processors, not GPUs

Intrinsics must be used, how else is the hardware invoked?

5 minute delays are common on twitch, especially to circumvent stream snipers. Totally live video is a liability actually and I would guess most live broadcasts have a delay.

In any case, I wasn't referring to inter-frame parallelizability, I was referring to intra-frame parallelizability which doesn't require a delay.

Unlikely, I would imagine that the vast majority of intrinsics used for VP9 decoding can be used for AV1 decoding as well.
Re:AV1: A new general-purpose video codec on Monday April 09, 2018 @05:23PM (#16797131)
Depends on how parallelizable the encoding algorithm is.
Re:AV1: A new general-purpose video codec on Monday April 09, 2018 @05:21PM (#16797120)
To what extent are the set of intrinsics used for VP9/h265 decoding unreusable for AV1 decoding? My guess is that there is large amount of reusable intrinsics.
I wonder when someone is going to take on the task of figuring out how to encrypt SNI
Does this actually improve the performance of most queries? Most queries are light on computation and heavy in IO. Seems kind of like a waste of effort but maybe there are people with very complex / compute-heavy queries.

Same but I already knew Python
Re:A meta-analysis of C++ projects on Thursday April 05, 2018 @12:15PM (#16766228)
I love C++ I just wish there was some sort of way to make it memory safe. At the same time the Java stack is too heavyweight for the things I use C++ for. If there werr some sort of memory safe language with the same use cases as C++ that would be game changing.
Because most people allowed to own property, run a business, and offer products and services?
Why is a working free market predicated on consumers having perfect knowledge? Free != Efficient
The claim that we live in a free market system is not the same as the claim we live in absolutely free market system.
I don't want to help anything. People that don't understand how their system works will learn the hard way regardless of what I say or what you claim to be interested in.
The idea that the free market is cruel is skewed. It's clear you don't value liberty or personal responsibility with that sort of perspective. Nothing in this world is owed or guaranteed to you, and forcing people to cooperate with you is immoral but you would disagree.
It does... Look at the website you're on. Ycombinator is an entrepreneurer's forum
I sensed this transition from the point that Apple released the new small MacBook.
